Advanced techniques for modelling maternal and child health in Africa / Ngianga-Bakwin Kandala, Gebrenegus Ghilagaber, editors.
"This book presents both theoretical contributions and empirical applications of advanced statistical techniques including geo-additive models that link individual measures with area variables to account for spatial correlation; multilevel models that address the issue of clustering within fami...
